Quick trip to my local patch

24 September 2024 - Glen Austin Pan

A quick visit to the Pan to check on the Flamingos - yip, they were still present

Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus)



Maccoa Ducks were also still here, but way out in the middle of the Pan

Male Maccoa Duck (Oxyura maccoa)


Pied Avocet's are uncommon visitors, so I was pleased to see a few foraging together with a couple of Black-winged Stilts

Pied Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta) and Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus)



The Pan is still full which is good news for this time of the year when rains are still coming towards the end of the year
